Ladies and Gentlemen, the Wurlitzer 1015.
I'm still occasionally scanning old negatives and have in front of me a batch from November 1996. We were at Ascot Racecourse which was the home that year of an annual event called the Jukebox Madness Show. We found these two Wurlitzer 1015s standing together. The white one on the right plays CDs and as such is not worthy of even considering as a purchase. But the one on the left had a mechanism to play 45rpm records. This jukebox was originally designed to play a stack of 10" 78rpm records of course. It was first released in 1946 (see the 78rpm mechanism in an earlier blog entry) and has remained in production ever since. You can still buy them. Lots of other manufacturers have brought out very similar versions of their own jukeboxes too, but this is the one that collectors drool over. Me too... My Rowe Ami RI-2 sounds nice but I want one of these!!!
Nice looking Jukebox yes we all would like to have one in the collection
